Newport News Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Sad[G]ly,[Em][D][C][D]
[G]I w[C]oke up in
Con[G]necticut
[C]Some nightingales out deck old
[G]Murphy bed
And the [C]wall -to -wall shag [Am]loneliness
Was [G]more fuel on the [Em]burning mess
I [A]hope you saw the flames
before they [D]died
[C]Your brother is a friend I'll [G]hate to lose
[C]He said you're somewhere down in
[G]Newport
News
Now [C]don't blame him for [Am]being vague I
[G]guess I would [Em]have done the same
But if [A]someone's gonna bleed,
it won't be [D]you
If you [C]needed the heat
from another [G]life
That's [C]a metaphor, I believe
[G]But if it mak[Em]es no differ[D]ence to you[Am]
the way [Em]you get what you [D]need
Oh, tell [C]me why my [D]love
was easy to [G]leave[D][Em]
[D]My [C]love so [D]easy to [G]leave
[C]I caught a dragon bus to
[G]Chinatown
[C]I bought some knock -off
shoes and [G]knocked around
Then I [C]stood where
Prince meets
[Am]Lafayette
I [G]won't forgive and I [Em]won't forget
But I'd [A]kiss your ass to kiss your ass [D]again
If you [C]needed the heat
from another [G]life
That's [C]a metaphor I believe
[G]But if it mak[Em]es no differ[D]ence to you
[Am]the way you get [Em]what you need[D]
Oh, tell [C]me why my [D]love was
easy to [G]leave[D][Em][D]
My [C]love was so [D]easy to [G]leave
[Am]Let's tie a knot in this,
if [Em]not I know the poison will soak a[D]ll the way through
[Am]I swear on your soul,
[Em]I'll forgo any right to stick it [D]back at [C]you[G][C][G][C][Am]
[G][Em][A][D]
If you [C]needed the heat
from another [G]life
That's [C]a metaphor, I believe
[G]But if it mak[Em]es no dif[D]ference to you[A],
then will you [Em]get what you n[D]eed?
Oh, tell [C]me why my [D]love was
easy to [G]leave[D][Em][D]
My [C]love was so [D]easy to [G]leave[D][Em]
[D]My [C]love is so [D]easy to leave
[G]My [D]lov[Em]e is[D] so [G]ea[C]sy to leave[D][G]
